Out Of Here

‘Out of Here’ is a song about backing yourself when everything around you is making you question yourself. Musically, it opens with a groove that has a touch of Don Henley about it before building into a big, guitar-driven chorus. Duncan’s voice sits right in the middle of it, carrying the song from its reflective opening into something much more powerful. It’s a song about getting back up, keeping your eyes on where you want to go and refusing to let self-doubt have the final say. For Duncan, that message is particularly personal. “This new journey from the back of the stage as a guitarist to standing out front as an independent country artist is as much about self-belief as it is about music. Without belief in ourselves, this world can fill our minds with negativity and make even the smallest of dreams feel impossible. This song is me shouting at myself, reminding me that no matter what life throws at me, no matter how many demons bear down on me, and no matter how alone or lost I feel, if I believe in myself and keep focused on the light on the horizon, I’ll find a way to move forward.” ‘Out of Here’ is the latest step in a new chapter for Duncan, with his upcoming second album Roller Coaster set to build on the sound and storytelling established with his debut album Steel on Steel. Duncan Toombs has spent more than two decades making his mark on Australian country music. Originally establishing himself as one of the country’s most in-demand guitarists, Duncan has performed and recorded alongside some of the biggest names in the Australian country music industry before stepping out from behind the guitar to pursue his own career as a singer-songwriter.
